My Journey into Massage Therapy

Massage has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. At just five years old, my mom grabbed a reflexology book—and my feet—and introduced me to the healing power of touch. As I grew older, she added post-sport massages to our routine, and that’s when I truly began to notice the difference in my recovery time. By high school, I was working on my swim and baseball teammates, developing an intuitive understanding of the body long before I formally studied it.

Before becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2012, I spent time as a mechanic and construction worker, then returned to mechanics while serving in the Army. That hands-on work built the strength and dexterity I now bring to every session. I served just under five years, including a 16-month deployment to Afghanistan, and that experience shaped me mentally, physically, and personally. It was during that time I realized I was ready for the next chapter.

After leaving the service, I pursued massage therapy full-time—and I knew I’d found my calling. I graduated top of my class with Alpha Beta Kappa honors and was hired by a chiropractor’s office before I’d even completed my clinical hours. While there, I earned my Chiropractic Assistant certification and an associate degree in business. I later helped open a clinic in Chandler, where I spent several years refining my skills and preparing to launch Phoenix Holistic.

Phoenix Holistic: More Than Massage

Phoenix Holistic is built on the belief that massage is just one piece of the healing puzzle. I see myself not only as a therapist, but also as an educator and facilitator—empowering clients with knowledge and confidence to sustain their recovery. I practice a range of modalities, from stress-relief and relaxation to functional movement and recovery work. My sessions are tailored to each client’s unique needs, and I incorporate education throughout, as much as they’re open to receiving.

With a strong foundation in Structural Integration, I focus on restoring balance to the body. Every massage is customized to support your goals—whether you're seeking relief, recovery, or long-term wellness.
